Hieroglyphs (or Hieroglyphics) are a type of writing which use symbols or pictures to stand for sounds and words.[1] The Egyptians, Luwians and Mayan cultures are among those who used hieroglyphs. They have also been found in Turkey, Crete, United States and Canada. They are thought to have started when pictures were used to tell stories on pots and other artwork. Over time they became letters. The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek words ἱερός (hierós 'sacred') and γλύφειν (glúphein 'to carve' or 'to write'), and was first used to mean the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Greeks who came to Egypt saw the picture letters which were often found carved on house walls, tombs, and monuments.
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egyptians used pictures to make a phonetic alphabet, so that each sound could be written with a picture-word, a phonogram or pictograph.[2] For example, a zig-zag for water <hiero>n</hiero> came to mean the letter "n", because the Egyptian word for water started with n. This same picture became our letter 'M' in the Latin alphabet, because the Semitic word for water started with m, and Semitic workers changed the symbols to fit sounds in their own language. In the same way, our Latin letter 'N' came from the hieroglyph for snake <hiero>D</hiero> as the word for "snake" started with n in Semitic. In Egyptian, this picture had stood for a sound like English "J" because of their word for snake. Some pictures came to represent ideas, and these are known as ideograms.[2]
The Egyptians used between 700 or 800 pictures, or glyphs. They were written from right to left, and from top to bottom. They did not use punctuation.[2]
Archaeologists believe that the Egyptians began using hieroglyphs about 3300 or 3200 BC. They were in use for more than 3,500 years. Most Egyptians did not write in hieroglyphs, it was only the nobles, priests and government official who used them. They were hard to learn and took a long time to write. People stopped using hieroglyphs when Christianity took hold in Egypt. Writing in hieroglyphs grew more rare with the last known inscription made in 396 BCE.[2]
Breaking the code
After the end of the Egyptian civilization in 30 BC, people no longer knew how to read the hieroglyphs. When the French took over Eypyt in 1798, French soldiers found a large stone.[3] This is now called the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone had writing in three different languages. One language was hieroglyphs, one was Ancient Greek, and the third was demotic, a simplified form of hieroglyphs.[3] Jean François Champollion guessed that the writing on the stone was the same, but in three languages. By using the Ancient Greek, he was able to work out the name of the ruler, Ptolemy V, in hieroglyphs.[2] After many years study he was able to work out how to read the other words.
Cretan hieroglyphs
A type of hieroglyphs was also used on Crete, and the surrounding islands, in the 2nd millennium BC. This writing system developed into a script called Linear A. During some time, both writing systems were used. 137 symbols are known, several resemble pictograms. 96 of the 137 known hieroglyphs occur in "words", 32 seem to be logograms.
There are four numerals that represent 1,10,100 and 1000 respectively and a symbol that looks like a small cross that probably shows the beginning of the text. Because there are relatively few symbols, the writing is probably syllabic, much like Linear A. Most of the known texts are short, they occur on sigils and clay shards.

By a narrow majority, 51% of consumers with a chronic disease say the benefit of online access to their medical records outweighs any security and privacy risk. And while many remain worried, they are actually less worried about healthcare data than about their online shopping and banking transactions, according to an Accenture survey.
The difference in attitudes is interesting but "a lot less different than you would think," says Kaveh Safavi, a physician and attorney who leads Accenture's global health business and is also a periodic contributor to InformationWeek Healthcare. This data comes from Accenture's Patient Engagement Survey, which included more than 2,000 participants in the United States.
While conceding that a 51% majority is not an overwhelming vote of confidence, Safavi said it is encouraging, taken in context. Despite consumer concerns about the privacy of healthcare data, "if you rank ordered them, their concern is a lot less than with the tradeoffs they are already making for online banking and financial services."
[Healthcare consumers are coming. Read Healthcare's Next Phase: Think Amazon.]
Chronic disease patients are slightly less concerned about the privacy of their electronic medical records (65%) than they are about other personal information that is stored digitally, such as online banking (70%), in-store credit card use (69%), and online shopping (68%), according to the survey.
Those who are more seriously ill tend to be less concerned about any perceived privacy risk. For example, 57% of those with cancer thought the benefit of access to their data outweighed the risk, compared with 48% of asthma and arthritis sufferers.
Only 30% of chronically ill people report having accessed their health information online, but that's compared with 24% of healthy people. The biggest barrier to online patient engagement still seems to be education and awareness. Of the chronically ill who had not accessed their records, 55% said it was because they didn't know how. Another 17% said they trusted that their medical records were accurate and saw no need to access them online.
Many patients are also making these judgments without ever having experienced the benefits promised by electronic medical records, holding out hope for healthcare organizations that figure out how to deliver on those promises. "As the value of the transactions goes up, people's willingness to engage will increase," Safavi said.

See: You get asked to do a remix on Dominance and you think: niiicceeeeee......
You get a deadline because the release is scheduled for February. So you even take some days off from work to meet the deadline.
Then the release gets postponed. No info for months. So you write an e-mail to check what's up. You get a vague release date that of course doesn't happen.
Then you learn from a newsletter that your work will finally come out but exactly on the same date as the album that creates the biggest buzz in the scenen since Street Sound NE 1. Then you get told, that this is a good thing, even if you know better because you are not new in the bizz and run a label for 7 years.
Totop it off you don't even have the mastered version of your own tune.
So why should you be excited?
Take my adviceand release with Ghost Technology. They treat people and their work with respect.
And this is my last post in this thread.
hey! if you are judging promotion and marketing by EE, i'm sorry but you obviously have wrong point of view.
anyway, great remixes

I have a huge amount of respect for Infinity artist 72Pringle. He's still building some fantastic creations, whilst others have given up because of the lack of online sharing.

I have learned far more about toybox logic from him than all other sites and tutorials put together. His videos can be lengthy, but he is clear and thorough ( And ( No offence intended ) for me at least ( As a native ) an English accent is easier on the ears ). I find following him akin to building LEGO and following the instructions. It works for my technical/visual mind.
Here he ditches the logic ( for the most part ) and goes for a straight forward build - THE DEATH STAR. It includes a base inside, and he has put many hours into experimenting how big this can be before it over-stresses the Xbox1/PS4. ( A diameter of 45 blocks here ). This kind of construction could be much bigger in Minecraft, but Infinity does have it's limits ( Ironically ). He even includes the building instructions as a PDF download if you want to build LEGO style from paper.
If you want to build a Death Star space battle in your toybox, this is a great place to start.

Welcome to
Please go to each page to see my dogs, the history of my involvement with this breed and some of my horses. I am a 1977 Vet Tech graduate and have an interest in not only the welfare of the animals but a keen interest in helping to eradicate genetic problems from the lines by testing all breeding dogs and promoting the breed by registering all pups and showing.
I take pride in the dogs I breed and I show the dogs I breed.
I have bred into several imported lines from England and Australia to expand the gene pool of the dogs in my kennel.
Be sure and check back frequently. Pages throughout the website are updated regularly with current pictures and events.
Sometimes these pages are pretty long, so make sure you scroll down all the way.

The primary focus of this small kennel is to produce quality (not quantity) companion dogs that may show and/ or compete in Earthdog events, if desired. ....and to produce a dog that most closely captures both the type and temperament of the courageous little dog that originated in their country of origin, England.
All breedings are done to produce the ideal dog and the small number of puppies generated are sold for the purpose of putting registered quality dogs (not necessarily show dogs) in as many homes of true Russell terrier euanthusiasts as possible. The more registered, correct dogs in multiple households, the better this helps establish our breed.
I DO NOT produce 5-10 litters a year, nor do I always have young pups available I do have older pups sometimes where I have kept several pups till they got old enough to best judge the dog to keep and contribute to the gene pool and/or show..
As a breeder, I am responsible for the welfare of the dogs I own that represent this breed and I will make every effort through testing and screenings to eliminate heridity problems that may be present in the breed. With careful evaluation of both genotype and phenotype, I pair the dogs that can hopefully produce the best representation of the standard and the embodiment of the character and type of this wonderful little terrier.
Unfortunately, with popularity comes " backyard breeders" and irresponsible "mass production" from warehouse kennels (usually with 50+ dogs) without regard for what is best for the breed. These "puppy mills" will usually have 5-10 litters on a site at any given time, or will have litter after litter, breeding their bitches back to back 4-6 times... will little regard to the quality, temperament and genetic faults they are producing in the pups or the health of their females. Despite the $$ this may generate for the "breeder" and the registry, usually these are the dogs that end up in the rescues or dog pounds.
You do not have to buy a show dog for $1200-$2500 to get a quality pet, out of genetic and temperament screened parents, but along the same lines, you will not find a genetically screened quality bred companion pup for under $500 either.Some breeders can just buy dogs to show, others know that breeding a quality dog takes time, trial and error, not just money. Staying true to the standard and a love of the breed is the mark of a true breeder.
There are a lot of "backyard breeders that do not breed to standard, just breed "cute for cash". You may not be getting what you think you are. Look at pedigrees, interact with the parents, ask about creditials of breeder, their history with the breed and what they really know about their dogs and the breed itself. Be careful of "breeders" that have 5-15 small breeds...chances are this is just about "making puppies".
A reputable breeder will, at the very least, have all of their breeding dogs CERF and BAER and temperment tested, in addition to regular veterinary care, shots, worming, and socialization. The addition of PLL testing is also one of the more critical of the breed tests performed since the test will actually identify a genetic marker that can be passed to offspring for the posterior lens luxation problem that some lines carry. More and more breeders are including this test when screening their breeding dogs since it was made available to us through OFA in the spring of 2010.

| 13.4°C Belfast
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen believes his old club are on course to win the title the "right way" but thinks they will struggle to enjoy the sustained domination of previous generations.
The Reds are currently five points clear of Sunday's visitors Chelsea with three matches to play and six in front of third-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
They are the Premier League's top scorers with 96 goals, five in front of City, and Owen said the brand of football they had played this season had allowed them to make a huge leap forward from also-rans last year.
"It is amazing the transformation from last season. From seventh last season Brendan Rodgers has done an outstanding job," said the former England international.
"I don't think many teams will come from seventh to win it, certainly in such a competitive league as the Premier League.
"Huge credit to him (Rodgers) and the rest of the team, which has some outstanding players but have been guided superbly by the manager.
"I think he has surprised everyone. At the start of the season I tipped Liverpool to come fourth and I was accused of being drunk - and that was one of the more polite things said to me.
"No-one had them to win the league. They were long odds against to do it and he has manufactured an unbelievable attacking team that has pace all over it, goals all over it.
"That is the pleasing thing if Liverpool go on to win the league; it has been done in the right way as they have blitzed a lot of teams and outscored them, particularly at Anfield.
"It has been a great season to watch."
It is 24 years since Liverpool won the last of their 18 titles, which signalled the end of almost three decades of unparalleled success.
Owen does not believe that situation will occur again when one side dominates all before them.
"It is obviously really exciting: a couple more good results and Liverpool will be crowned champions," he added.
"First things first is for Liverpool to win the league but then the season starts afresh in August and that is the key, to get a sustained period like we have seen with Liverpool a few decades ago.
"Sustained dominance is very difficult in this day and age, with the money around at other clubs, but just to be in that top echelon of European football again is great to see."
Liverpool are set to receive a boost for the crunch clash with Chelsea, where victory would rule Jose Mourinho's side out of the title race, as striker Daniel Sturridge is expected to be fit.
The England forward missed last weekend's win at Norwich - Liverpool's 11th in succession - with a hamstring problem but looks set to return at Anfield on Sunday.

U.S. Bishops Join With Other Christian Leaders To Call For 'Circle Of Protection' Around Programs For Poor People
WASHINGTON—A diverse coalition of Christian leaders, including Catholic bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals, Bread for the World, Salvation Army, Christian Churches Together in the USA, National Council of Churches and other Evangelical and mainline Protestants, has called for a priority for the poor in the current budget process through a common statement, "A Circle of Protection."
"As Christian leaders, we are committed to fiscal responsibility and shared sacrifice," said the statement. "We are also committed to resist budget cuts that undermine the lives, dignity, and rights of poor and vulnerable people. Therefore, we join with others to form a Circle of Protection around programs that meet the essential needs of hungry and poor people at home and abroad."
Bishop Howard J. Hubbard of Albany, New York, and Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, California, signed the statement, as did Ken Hackett, president of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and Father Larry Snyder, president of Catholic Charities USA. Bishop Hubbard and Bishop Blaire chair the U.S. bishops' committees on International Justice and Peace and Domestic Justice and Human Development, respectively.
In the statement, the religious leaders recognize the need to reduce future deficits, "but not at the expense of hungry and poor people." They said, "These choices are economic, political—and moral. As Christians, we believe the moral measure of the debate is how the most poor and vulnerable people fare. We look at every budget proposal from the bottom up—how it treats those Jesus called 'the least of these' (Matthew 25:45). They do not have powerful lobbies, but they have the most compelling claim on our consciences and common resources. The Christian community has an obligation to help them be heard, to join with others to insist that programs that serve the most vulnerable in our nation and around the world are protected."
The statement urges government leaders to explore other areas of the budget that can be cut to reduce deficits and to create jobs and spur economic growth, noting, "Decent jobs at decent wages are the best path out of poverty, and restoring growth is a powerful way to reduce deficits."
The full statement and list of signatories can be found online: www.circleofprotection.us/index.html
Earlier letters to Congress from Bishop Hubbard and Bishop Blaire addressing the moral dimensions of the budget can also be found online: www.usccb.org/sdwp/2012-Budget-Letter-to-House-04-13-11.pdf and www.usccb.org/sdwp/Final-2011-CR-letter-Domestic-Senate.pdf

I am a very tired mama.
Just to make sure the above was understood, I'll re-phrase that:
I Am A Very Tired Mama.
We've had a bunch of household crises here in the past two months, in addition to trying to soldier on with the nighttime potty training and the resultant GINORMOUS pile of laundry, and the extra holiday whatevers, school breaks with the twins at home and/or twins home sick on the days there was school, that I've gone beyond collapsing into a twitching heap at night and have progressed to a semi-frequent, semi-catatonic state.
Drooling mindlessly is involved.
I tried coffee but that made me too darn twitchy and irritable, plus I couldn't sleep well that night…"well" being relative of course – it just meant that I got even less sleep than usual. Not A Good Thing, especially when you have to drive around your little sweeties safely to and from grandmother's house.
(and Bubbe is always SO nice about letting me nap awhile as she entertains the kids, so I can get us all back home safely again afterwards.)
So when some kind person offered me a chance to try a natural energy drink product that wouldn't leave me twitching or crash/burning afterwards, I leapt at the chance.
And so I got my Phix. Yep, that's what it's called: Phix.
It gets the caffiene from Yerba Maté , which is an herbal drink that they have in South America, and I've seen people steep it looseleaf and sip it from special spoon-like straws, but that was a little too much natural for me to get into.
Phix Energy is a great tasting, low-calorie way to naturally improve your energy levels. We blend green tea antioxidants, energy restoring NADH, and yerba maté for enhanced and sustained vigor, plus we add 14 vitamins and minerals to keep you feeling healthy and happy.**
Phix comes in little convient packets that you just open up, pour into water or juice (about 12-16 ounces), give it a shake or stir and then drink.
It tastes very nice! They have three flavors: Tropical, Teaberry, which was ok, but not my fave, and Citron, which WAS my favorite. I even offered some of the Citron flavor to my husband, who is rather finicky about his beverages and he said it was "quite refreshing" and looked surprised that something I handed to him tasted that good.
Citron tastes kind of lemony and slightly yerba maté -y, and as if you were drinking something herbal-ish, but in a nice way.
Tropical is a bit fruity along with the yerba maté edge but still pleasant, and Teaberry didn't really taste much like anything except sweetish and yerbe maté.
As for the energy, it's not like you've been jolted with an electrified cattleprod, but I do feel relatively awake after drinking it, and I haven't noticed any crash/burning or twitching. And so far, it hasn't seemed to bother my sleeping at night.
Phix natural energy drinks give you an immediate lift, but unlike other energy drink mix products, there are no spikes, jitters, or crashes. Phix Energy is smooth and sustained energy designed to give you a natural boost day in and day out. Phix powders are entirely natural, vegan, and gluten free.
Phix comes in boxes of 5 packets per box. You can order it online from their website.
You can also check out Phix on Twitter, and Phix's Facebook page!
And for one of my lucky readers, Phix has offered 3 boxes of Phix Energy in your flavor of choice, plus a 25% off coupon for your next purchase! Just fill out the rafflecopter form before midnite on Dec. 15th, and I'll choose a winner on December 16th! Just in time for Christmas!
*Disclaimer: I participated in a promotion by Phix and Mom Select and was sent a supply of Phix Energy for review purposes. The opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by Phix or Mom Select. Phix also offered to give one of my readers 3 boxes in their flavor of choice of Phix Energy and a 25% off coupon on their next purchase.

Ode to a 19inch Magnavox
We knew it was going - it had a green spot on one corner of the screen so that anything over there had a lovely greenish tinge. And then this week when you turned it on the screen would scramble and roll - like we were trying to watch PPV porn without paying for it - for about 10 minutes before NOGGIN or SESAME STREET would actually come on.
Something like less than 5% of Americans only have one TV. We only had one TV - this little 19 inch TV that used to be Laura's bedroom TV. I traded her the living room furniture for it. It was really a great deal, I think, because I've had it since 1998 with no problem. It moved to Broad Ripple, then to KY then to FLA with us without much incident. But these things are DESIGNED to be replaced. I wonder what one does with an old dead TV? It's probably fixable and I'm far too much of a consumer to pursue that avenue......I want NEW. I should see if Salvation Army or AMVETs takes such things - then maybe it would do some good.
Only 4 days till I fly home to Indy to see my family! I cannot WAIT!

II. To describe the relationship of vorinostat pharmacokinetics to the occurrence of systemic toxicity.
III. To determine the pharmacokinetics of cisRA given in combination with vorinostat.
IV. To describe histone acetylation levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after different doses of vorinostat.
V. To describe, within the context of a Phase I study, the response rate of vorinostat combined with cisRA in patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma.
VI. To describe the toxicity and response rate of vorinostat at the determined maximal tolerated dose combined with cisRA in patients ages 22-30 years of age at study entry with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of vorinostat.
Patients receive isotretinoin orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14, PO suspension* of vorinostat once daily (QD) on days 1-4 of course 1, and capsules of vorinostat PO QD on days 1-4 and 8-11 of course 2 and subsequent courses. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
EXPANSION COHORT 1 (=< 21 years of age): Once the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) has been determined, patients are treated at that dose level as above.
EXPANSION COHORT 2 (22-30 years of age): Patients receive isotretinoin as above and vorinostat at the MTD on days 1-3 and 8-10.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically.
NOTE: *Patients less than 10 years of age are encouraged to continue to use oral suspension beyond course 1.

- Patients must have high-risk neuroblastoma
Patients must have at least ONE of the following:
- Recurrent/progressive disease at any time; biopsy not required, even if partial response to intervening therapy
- Refractory disease (i.e. less than a partial response to frontline therapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of chemotherapy); no biopsy is required to document eligibility
- Persistent disease after at least a partial response to frontline therapy (i.e. patient has had at least a partial response to frontline therapy but still has residual disease by metaiodobenzylguanidine [MIBG] scan, computed tomography [CT]/magentic resonance imaging [MRI], or bone marrow aspirates/biopsies); patients in this category are REQUIRED to have histologic confirmation of viable neuroblastoma from at least one residual site; tumor seen on routine bone marrow morphology is sufficient; bone marrow immunocytology alone is not sufficient for eligibility
Patients must have at least ONE of the following sites of disease (excluding those patients entered in the Expansion Cohort) :
- Measurable tumor on MRI or CT scans or X-ray; measurable is defined >= 20 mm in one dimension; for spiral CT defined as >= 10 mm in one dimension; for patients with persistent disease, a biopsy of site seen on CT/MRI must have demonstrated viable neuroblastoma; if the lesion was radiated, then biopsy must be done >= 4 weeks after radiation completed
- MIBG scan with positive uptake at a minimum of one site; for patients with persistent disease, a biopsy of an MIBG positive site must have demonstrates viable neuroblastoma; if the lesion was radiated, then biopsy must be done >= 4 weeks after radiation completed
- Bone marrow with tumor cells seen on routine morphology (not by neuron specific enolase [NSE] staining only) of one bone marrow sample of a bilateral aspirate and/or biopsy
- Patients entered in the Expansion Cohorts 1 or 2 who have had a prior relapse are eligible with no measurable or evaluable sites of tumor (i.e. in second complete response)

- Must have received last dose of monoclonal antibodies at least 7 days or 3 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to start of vorinostat
- Patients must not have received radiation (small port) for a minimum of two weeks prior to start of vorinostat; for patients with only one site of measurable or evaluable disease, radiation must not have been given to that site unless that site has demonstrated clear progression after radiation
- A minimum of 12 weeks prior to start of vorinostat is required following prior large field radiation therapy (i.e. total body irradiation, craniospinal, whole abdominal, total lung, > 50% marrow space), otherwise a minimum of 6 weeks must have elapsed if other substantial bone marrow (BM) radiation
- Patients are eligible 6 weeks after date of autologous stem cell infusion following myeloablative therapy (timed from start of vorinostat); patients are eligible 6 weeks after date of allogeneic stem cell transplant if without evidence of active graft versus host disease; patients receiving an autologous stem cell infusion to support non-myeloablative therapy are eligible at any time as long as they meet the hematologic and other organ function criteria for eligibility

- Patients must not be receiving other investigational medications (covered under another investigational new drug [IND]) within 30 days of study entry or while on study
- Since valproic acid has histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity, patients must not have received valproic acid within 30 days of study entry
- Prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval has been rarely observed in adults receiving vorinostat; patients must not be receiving azole anti-fungal therapy at the time of study entry or while on protocol therapy; additional agents known to prolong the QTc interval should be avoided unless therapeutic alternative medications are not available
- Patients must not be receiving pentamidine therapy for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis at the time of study entry or while on protocol therapy
- No hematopoietic growth factors within 7 days of enrollment on this protocol
- Patients must not be receiving enzyme-inducing anti-convulsant therapy

- Platelet count >= 50,000/ul, transfusion independent (no platelet transfusions within 1 week)
- Patients with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for study as long as they meet hematologic function criteria; patients with marrow disease are not evaluable for hematologic toxicity; if dose limiting hematologic toxicity occurs in two patients, then all subsequent patients enrolled must be evaluable for hematologic toxicity, therefore patients with marrow metastases will be ineligible

Around Town
Get started with College Greenlight to compare the Lafayette College weather with your hometown!Create an account now!
Another subjective category that Lafayette deals with very well, because Lafayette hosts many events (usually once per week, but it really depends on the type of activity) where people can go and do various things such as rock climbing, weight lifting, playing instruments (piano and such), watch movies, go to sporting events for free(!), trivia contests, and parties (the one you were waiting for, but usually not hosted by Lafayette). There is always something to do on campus, but I am not saying that it will always be something you are interested in. Lafayette goes to great lengths to keep us entertained and it really does pay off because campus is always really fun.Read More
Join a club or club sport! Sign up to volunteer! People watch on the quad or in the college center! Most importantly, BE fun and you'll HAVE fun. This mentality will get you involved on campus and connect you with people who will never make you question whether you had a good time or not. (All colleges have a party scene. There are plenty of opportunities to party if that's what you're looking for.)Read More
There are lots of things to do, if you look. Lafayette is on the hill overlooking Easton, so we aren't in a city. For some, that may be a little boring, but I like the open space. And if you can't find something fun on a Saturday night, there's always DU spinning.Read More
Party! serious partying goes on here. Usually exclusive and you won't know about them unless you know about them.Read More
Lafayette College offers various volunteer activities as well as clubs and teams to join. The college also offers weekend transportation and trips to Philadelphia and New York City, which are both approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away.Read More
If you want to get off campus, Easton has delicious restaurants, including Sette Luna, Pearly Bakers, and the River Grille. On campus, LAF, the Lafayette Activities Forum, plans events, including comedians, for students. Football games and basketball games are a good time too, especially the Lafayette-Lehigh Footbal game.Read More
Lafayette is into their extra-curricular activities. Anything from rock climbing to swimming to kayaking to dancing to quidditch. There is also a FREE shuttle bus that takes you to the mall and the movies.Read More
The people at Lafayette are so interesting, fun and friendly that just hanging out with friends is fun. Clubs, sports and greek life are fun things to be involved in and always have activities going on. There are always fun things going on on campus such as dances, poetry readings and concerts.Read More

Latest News
Hot News!!! Airsoft Surgeon's NEW Gas Cartridge for Sniper Rifle system - coming soon! (2007-10-18)
Hot News! Clarence Lai is currently developing a Gas Cartridge for use with a Sniper Rifle system. The Sniper Rifle picture below is modified by Clarence, so that it functions with the up-and-coming Airsoft Surgeon Gas Cartridges. Each cartridge holds one BB and a gas charge, once fired, you pull the bolt handle back and the shell is ejected just like with the real thing - a detail which proves very pleasing when put to practice. The entire charge of gas devoted to powering one BB also spells huge potential for accuracy and range that cannot be delivered by tank-based gas charged systems. The Airsoft Surgeon system is planned for red gas and other higher pressure gases as well. The Gas Cartridge is still currently under development, although it is a functioning state, Clarence is putting the final touches to it.
The release date has yet to be confirmed, so check back for more News, Pictures & Videos at Redwolf!
|Airsoft Surgeon gas cartridge, used in a modified Sniper Rifle, is just like the real thing!

Afternoon all.
Have been reading all of the reports. Inspirational stuff-you all should be very proud!
Glad you are feeling a bit better Hazel-sounds like a very unpleasant set of circumstances which would have scuppered anyone's plans of running a good race. You definitely made the best decision by stopping when you did. No need to make a quick decision on the next one so just see how you feel in a few days. Hope the hill race goes well.
HA-That was a fantastic time after the less than ideal build up you had. You were one who seemed to cope pretty well with the conditions but that's not a complete surprise bearing in mind where you come from! Are you planning on racing an Autumn marathon? Unfinished Abo business perhaps?
Jools-Very tough day so well done for seeing it out. Great battling determination shown when it would have been easier to throw in the towel. I'm amazed you were able to drive home!
Joe-Really enjoyed reading your blog as ever. You always seem to have a great time no matter what-love that! Very well controlled race-paced it superbly. Liked the flat cap but not sure about the trunks and press ups at the finish!
Everyone else seemed to have similar stories of just battling to get to the finish in varying degrees of pain. It was very bad luck to get those conditions on the day given what the winter had thrown at us.
General consensus is that this was another very good day for the thread and certainly one to tell the grandchildren about in years to come!
Hope the recoveries are going well.
Great report John-another fine battling display-Well done.
John - It's a funny one really. I thought I'd fully acclimatised to the cold weather but must be something about running in the heat all those years ago that's still with me. Tough day and great report.
Joe - Tell your mum (and dave) to lock it in for next year, it's a date! I'm feeling more motivated now than I did in the whole lead up, which is good. I could be changing jobs again so it'll be a matter of finding a new routine but if I can stay motivated I'm sure I'll find a way of fitting things in. If I don't give it a proper crack I reckon I'll regret it. Cheers for the support.
Tom - I'm not so keen on Abingdon. On the plus side I like the small, club run feel and it's pretty close to me but I didn't really like the course. We'll see. I've started negotiations with the boss into going to Valencia. From what Joe and others have said, it sounds like an awesome race. If that doesn't work out I might try to get up to Chester.
NE - Good luck with the cold. Hope it clears soon.
Like others I did my first post race run yesterday, about 3.5 miles. 8m/mile seemed my limit too.
To be clear, I love your attitutde, I wish i'd had the confidence to do whatever I wanted at your age. My injuries are behaving themselves, just had my last physio appointment and I have been given a series of exercises to do.Joe Blogs-BR said:Reg - I know I'm an absolute fool, but sometimes I think it helps not to take yourself too seriously. At the end of the day, we're all miles behind the elites anyway. If you can't have fun with it, somethings going wrong I think. Hows the injuries coming along?
London 2018
My day started in auspicious circumstances. Anticipating a few beers I jumped on my bike to get to the club coach pick up point. The rear derailleur hanger snapped about 10metres down the road. Made it to the club coach via car which got us there about 8ish. The FGFA area was empty and I had about 50 portaloos all to myself. Time flew by, assisted by bumping into Millsy. I recall the first few miles last year feeling downhill, not so this year, it all felt uphill. I tried sub 7mm pace for a few miles to see how it felt, unsustainable was the answer. Pace seemed to naturally settle around 7:15mm so I thought that was a sensible adjustment. I was aware of having my heels clipped more than usual and more sideways movement at drinks stations. The smell of molten rubber at the timing mats wasn't pleasant either. My endearing memory of the first half was working hard and sweating a lot but I thought my pace adjustment would mitigate the effects of that. The first half always flys by, the merge, the Cutty Sark, club cheering point circa 9m then Tower Bridge. On TB I started to think about meeting my family and the food I might ask them to get me for the finish. Unbelievably TB passed me by completely whilst I pondered over a Tesco meal deal. I got a lift from passing the race leaders on East Smithfield and whilst I had decided times weren't important today I had thought something around 3:10-3:15 would be nice, halfway done in 1:35ish. Mile 16 was the next target to meet the family. Alas I couldn't see them and assumed they had found something more interesting todo (it's happened before). There followed a couple of low miles and when someone took one of my legs away, I turned round shouting ffs - spirit of London eh ! I recovered the stumble and whether it was the adrenaline or not, I felt stronger and started to think only 6m to go. I was making reasonable progress (for me) around 8:30 mm but sometime in mile 22, maybe after the 3:15 pacer went past, the desire to walk just became all consuming. I limited it to 2mins and one per mile but I had to repeat it I think 3 times. As said by others, the tunnels were a relief and the crowds fantastic, particularly along this stretch. I wasn't in any great pain, I just had nothing left in the tank. A bit of high 5ing seemed to pick me up a bit to plod the last bit home. I bumped into Jools in the last mile and felt gutted for him that the heat had taken away any chance of a shot at sub 3. I'm convinced it will come though. I couldn't work out where baggage pick up was, a long way, but being clapped by the people on the lorries was a nice touch. By the time I had walked to The Admiralty for a quick drink and to meet family I didn't feel too bad. Another quick drink with the club didn't leave any time for the RL, as evidenced by a "you're ****ing late" text on the way home. In summation, bit of a crap start to the day, bit of a crap end, but the bit in the middle was fantastic as usual.
1st half in 1:34:34 passed 627, 1133 passed me - that felt about right
2nd half 1:49:14 passed 518, 469 passed me - surprised by that.
Looking forward to the Thames Path in 9 days time, time to taper I guess.
Great reports from everyone, really enjoyed reading them. Was quite a day wasn't it!
Jooligan you were clearly in sub-3 shape, it will come.
Hope the job interview goes well Reg.
Great to hear you've got your running mojo back HA.
Joe, like Reg I love how much you enjoy these events, and wish I had your confidence!
My race report is now up on my blog: https://run.spoon.run/london-marathon-2018/. Was a weird one for me after the high of Manchester. Despite working hard over the years to get my place in London it became a bit of an anticlimax. But I still enjoyed it on balance, and it was a good reconnaissance for a proper go at it next year

FRIDAY, Nov. 30, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- What would it take to get you to regularly exercise longer than you do now?
New research suggests that you might just need a virtual buddy who you think is stronger than you.
A small study of female college students suggests that competing against a teammate or virtual partner helps people ramp up their exercise more effectively than if they worked out alone. The study also found that even though participants who were paired with a strong workout partner exercised much longer, they didn't feel any more tired after the fitness bout than did people who exercised alone for a shorter period of time.
"When the goal is to exercise longer, a partner who is a little better than you are can make a big difference," said study author Brandon Irwin, assistant professor of kinesiology at Kansas State University. "It gives you a goal, and may even inspire you to raise your goals."
The study was published recently in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Irwin wanted to know how to motivate people to push a little harder during their workouts. Although the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a week with no fewer than 10 minutes a segment, many people aren't meeting that goal, he said.
"Even those who are exercising long enough often fail to reach the recommended level of moderate exercise, such as a brisk walk," Irwin explained. And to be involved in vigorous exercise, he explained, people have to reach and sustain a level of exertion at which it's difficult to have a conversation while working out.
Irwin wanted to see what it would take to help study participants get to the next level. The researchers recruited 58 female students at Michigan State University who were assessed for their physical fitness and regular physical activities. Participants exercised on a stationary bike for six 60-minute sessions over four weeks, creating baseline data.
Then the participants returned to the lab for more exercise sessions, but were simply told they were working out with a partner in another lab whom they could see on a video screen. (In reality, the monitor showed just a looping video, rather than a live feed of the other woman).
The participants were all told that their virtual partners had ridden their bikes 40 percent longer in the initial sessions than they actually had. Perhaps inspired to do as well as their virtual partners, the women then doubled their bike times as compared to their average baseline sessions.
The researchers then told the participants that they were working with their partner to achieve a combined team score, which would be solely based on the time of the person who stopped cycling first. Each participant was told that their partner had managed to cycle longer in the previous session.
After several sessions, participants who believed they were working as a team exercised almost 160 percent longer than those working with a partner, and 200 percent longer than those who exercised alone.
Although this study involved only women, Irwin said other research he and his colleagues have done involved both genders.
They found that if you pair a man with a woman who is more fit than he is, the man will be exceptionally motivated. Pairing a man with another man who is more fit also increases the less-athletic man's motivation to succeed, Irwin said.
What if your exercise partner -- real or virtual -- happens to be less vigorous than you are? Although that wasn't the focus of this study, Irwin said other research has shown that "you'd tend to be less motivated and would try less hard than if you were exercising by yourself."
Irwin explained that if an exerciser or teammate works at a level that is approximately 40 percent better than his or her partner, the motivation for the less fit partner to exercise aggressively is optimal. "At that level of difference, reaching the same level is both difficult and achievable," he said. "That's the sweet spot."
Cedric Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise, in San Diego, said the results of the study are consistent with other behavior-modification research and applies to more than athletics.
"Just as with eating habits, if you're in the company of individuals who make prudent choices, you will make better choices yourself," Bryant said. "To me, the real nice message here is that hanging out with people who model positive behavior -- in this case virtually -- probably will have a positive effect on what you do as an individual."
But Bryant warned that pairing yourself with someone whose athletic prowess greatly exceeds your capacity could cause problems. "It would be demotivating, and you could over-train," he said.
The bottom line? Irwin advises people to find someone who is a little better than they are when exercising if their goal is to exercise longer or more vigorously. "Find someone who can challenge you," he said.

More shows need Christmas specials. The UK The Office and more recently, Downton Abbey both had some pretty outstanding specials; surely The Walking Dead could use one?
This video from Jawiin imagines just such a scenario. The jokes are hit or miss, but the impersonations are all pretty great. "I'VE GOT THE HAM."
Are you with me that this most recent half-season of TWD was the strongest the show has been? Or do you think it's been good all along? What other shows deserve weird Christmas specials? I'd watch a Breaking Bad Christmas special.
Chat about that or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. See you tomorrow.

I get this question a lot – "what are your favorite XYZ thing in Walt Disney World"? I have things that are near and dear to my heart – some of which tug at the heartstrings, some which are just the best of the best in experiences, other things that we save for special occasions.
This is an easy one for me and we have two. #1 – Bay Lake Tower at Contemporary resort. Walking access to and from Magic Kingdom, many rooms with a view of the fireworks from your living room or balcony and the monorail steps away to get to other parks. Easy to get to parking lot for those that access to a car. Great set of resort rooms from the studio when it's just the 3 of us traveling up to 1 and 2 bedroom villas when we are traveling with family. The 1 and 2 bedroom villas have a ton of bathrooms as well (2 full baths in a 1 bedroom and 3 full baths in a 2 bedroom). I am not as big of a fan of the main Contemporary building – the feeling of the two resorts (even though they have the same amenities) are completely different. Bay Lake is quiet which I love and need after a busy day in the park. I also like that the hallways aren't horribly long like they are at some other resorts.
Resort #2 – Standard Club Level room at Wilderness Lodge. It's not just Wilderness Lodge – it's this specific booking category. Because it's a small resort and the addition of Copper Creek Villas there are very few club level rooms. It makes the experience more intimate. I love the club level floor. We request a room facing toward Magic Kingdom and you've got a nice view of the fireworks in the evening. The club level offerings are robust here and it just feels like home. The sights, the smells, the everything! It's my favorite overall place.
This list can get a bit long, so I'll try to keep it short. This list also changes and adapts based on the time of year and why we're traveling (and who is with us). And you will find very little character dining here – we prefer to see characters in the park with the photo backdrop and dining for us is all about the FOOD
- Garden Grill (Epcot) – Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are all good!
- Via Napoli (Epcot)
- Teppan Edo (Epcot)
- Boma (Animal Kingdom Lodge) – Breakfast & dinner are both good meals
- Trattoria al Forno (Boardwalk) – Breakfast (the best character dining meal – I'd eat here even if there were no characters)
- Boathouse (Disney Springs)
- Art Smith's Homecomin' (Disney Springs)
- Ohana (Polynesian) – Dinner (this is becoming a little less of a favorite in recent years but still a good meal)
Do we eat other places? ALL THE TIME! But these are my core go to locations. I'm just about 20 dining locations short of dining at every location in WDW!
Magical Extras/Special Experiences
This is the easiest answer – Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert party – Garden plaza view. For $59 for adults and less for kids, you've got a quick little dessert buffet followed by a protected place to watch the fireworks in Magic Kingdom. Happily Ever After with the projection technology, needs to be seen inside the park and with kids, it's much easier to be seen in this protected space and the soft hub grass to sit in while you wait. We've had a photopass photographer come in and take photos while we wait too! It's also a nice protected space after the fireworks end as most of the guests in the park head toward the exit and go nowhere fast. We just sit and relax and let the crowds clear first.
Special events parties – Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. This is my favorite special event. It's an expensive add but we LOVE it so much. Dressing up as a family in Magic Kingdom, trick or treating, the best parade in all of WDW (RIP Spectromagic & Main Street Electrical Parade which may have ranked higher if still running), and a great fireworks show! And in our house…we love villains. This event runs on select nights in September and October.
What are YOUR favorite things around Walt Disney World??
I'd love to talk to you about my happy place so you can think about starting YOUR collection of memories! Whether it's a first time, the first time as a family, a celebration, or it's something you've been putting off because it's overwhelming, we can do this!

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears have hired former safety Chris Harris as a defensive quality control coach.
Harris recently retired after eight seasons that included two stints with Chicago (2005-06 and 2010-11). He also played for Carolina, Detroit and Jacksonville, where he appeared in five games last season and worked with new Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. He had 16 interceptions and 13 forced fumbles in his career.
Besides hiring Harris on Monday, the Bears announced they were bringing in former Tampa Bay special teams coordinator Dwayne Stukes as assistant special teams coach and Sean Desai as a defensive quality control coach.
Stukes was on the Buccaneers' staff from 2006 to 2011, most recently as their special teams coordinator. Desai coached Boston College's running backs and special teams last season.

Attorney General Lockyer Announces $171.7 Million Settlement with Zurich Insurance to Resolve Bid Rigging, Pay-to-Play Allegations
Settlement Will Provide Business Clients $151.7 Million in Restitution
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich) will pay $151.7 million in restitution and reform its business practices to settle allegations that it unlawfully rigged bids for commercial insurance and made undisclosed payments to brokers for steering clients to Zurich.
"Zurich participated in schemes with brokers and other insurers that inflicted financial harm on businesses and damaged the marketplace," said Lockyer. "This settlement holds Zurich accountable for its misconduct, compensates clients it harmed, and provides reforms and ongoing enforcement by Attorneys General to help ensure the company does not commit similar abuses in the future."
The settlement resolves antitrust and unfair business practices investigations by Lockyer and Attorneys General in nine other states. Lockyer within weeks formally will file California's settlement in state court.
The alleged bid rigging scheme worked like this: Insurers submitted phony, inflated bids, knowing there was no real competition and that the winner had been predetermined. The designated winner also would submit an inflated bid, but lower than its "competitors." Brokers then told clients that the winning bid was the best deal available. Brokers guaranteed the "losers" they would win other bids pursuant to the same, rigged process, and allegedly threatened to punish insurers who balked at participating.
The clandestine bid rigging defrauded business clients and caused them to pay artificially high prices for commercial insurance, officials said. The investigation by Lockyer and other Attorneys General found that Zurich played a central role in the bid rigging scheme, along with major brokers and other insurers.
The second targeted practice involved undisclosed "contingent" payments made by insurers to brokers. In addition to standard commissions, which were disclosed to insured businesses, major national insurers allegedly made secret payments to brokers based on how much clients the broker steered to them and kept for them.
The contingent payments posed a potential conflict of interest for brokers by creating an incentive to sell insurance that earned them extra fees, instead of coverage that best fit the needs and pocketbooks of their clients. The contingent payments should have been fully disclosed to business clients, said Lockyer, so they had all material information they needed to make informed decisions.
The restitution will be provided to Zurich customers eligible to receive compensation in a private class action lawsuit now pending in New Jersey federal court. The money will be allocated among the settling states under a schedule to be developed by the private class action counsel, in consultation and cooperation with the Attorneys General. That allocation plan, which must be approved by the New Jersey federal court, and other factors will determine how much of the $151.7 million ultimately goes to eligible California businesses, said Lockyer.
Aside from the restitution, the settlement requires Zurich to pay the states a total of $20 million to cover their costs and fees.
To guard against future unlawful practices, the settlement requires Zurich to adopt specific reforms of the way it conducts its business. Zurich will be prohibited from submitting artificially inflated bids or colluding with others to rig bids. And prior to a commercial insurance policy taking effect, Zurich must disclose to prospective clients whether the compensation it pays a broker includes contingent compensation.
Zurich also will be required to implement a compliance program that includes employee training and other measures to prevent, report and punish improper conduct. If an Attorney General believes Zurich has violated the settlement's terms, the Attorney General must notify Zurich and give the company a chance to cure the alleged violation. If Zurich fails to remedy the problem within 60 days from the notification date, the Attorney General can go to court to compel compliance.
In addition to California, the other settling states include: Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
Lockyer in October 2004 launched an investigation into bid rigging and contingent payments in the commercial insurance industry. The broader investigation remains ongoing.

Moncler KNITS
Founder Réné Ramillion established Moncler in the French Alpine village of Monastier-de-Clermont in 1952, manufacturing a simple range of tents, sleeping bags, and quilted jackets designed to protect workers from the cold. Mountaineer Lionel Terray discovered the jackets' potential for protection in harsh climates, and the brand transformed into a performance outfitter for skiiers and mountaineers. A streamlined, lightweight down jacket developed for the French alpine skiing team at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble became the precursor to Moncler's signature model. Now a global lifestyle brand seen on mountains and city streets alike, Moncler continues to develop inventive and feminine styles of quilted down jackets, vests, parkas, and fur accessories presenting a vision of the luxury of alpine life under president and creative director Remo Ruffini.

SUNY Canton Air Conditioning Professor, Founder Passes AwayTuesday, July 27th, 2010
SUNY Canton is mourning the loss of the founder of the College's air conditioning engineering technology program.
Professor Emeritus Harry E. King, Class of 1940, taught at SUNY Canton for 37 years and remained active with the College as part of the Alumni Board of Directors until passing away early on Monday, July 26, 2010. He was 90 years old.
"Harry King was one of the College's biggest supporters and advocates for nearly 70 years," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "We're lucky to have his legacy live on in so many of us. He touched the lives of everyone around him and we are grateful for the impression he left on our community as a student, professor, mentor and friend."
Mr. King, who grew up in Redwood, N.Y., graduated in 1940 from the College with a degree in technical electricity. During the next six years, he worked for the George H. Hyde Plumbing and Contracting Co. in Ogdensburg and married Wilda "Willie" Barton King in 1943. Mrs. King, who also worked for a time at SUNY Canton, predeceased her husband in August 2008 just after the couple celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.
He returned to his alma mater in 1946 and started what was then the heating, ventilation and air conditioning program (HVAC). One of the most profound ways Mr. King influenced SUNY Canton was teaching, developing a wonderfully crafted air conditioning program that prepared students for successful careers in the field.
"After his family, I think his greatest love was teaching young people," said Ronald L. Woodcock, who served as co-chair of SUNY Canton's Centennial Campaign and was a 1959 graduate of Mr. King's program. "He took trips to Syracuse with students to show us job opportunities, set up job interviews and see interesting HVAC projects. He exposed his students to the real world of the heating and air conditioning industry, and we are thankful for his dedication in helping all of us achieve much during our lives."
That sentiment was evident in 2008 when alumni, family and friends of Mr. King came together early in the year and raised enough funds to name the new air conditioning laboratory after him.
"The efforts of nearly 200 people coming forward and raising over $150,000 to name the laboratory after Mr. King is perhaps the greatest tribute I know that expresses how Harry influenced so many lives," said SUNY Canton Vice President for Advancement David M. Gerlach. "It illustrates the impact he had on all of us and the Harry E. King Air Conditioning Engineering Technology Laboratory now serves as a constant reminder of his continued generosity and passion for SUNY Canton."
Mr. King was honored by SUNY Canton several times throughout his life, including being named Distinguished Alumnus in 1979 and Distinguished Faculty two years later.
The year of his retirement, 1983, was commemorated by the campus and the students with the yearbook being named in his honor. Alumni also honored his retirement by establishing 'The Harry E. King Scholarship' that same year in recognition of his long devotion to the College and to his caring interest in the many students he taught throughout his tenure.
In 2003, SUNY Canton recognized Mr. King's continued dedication and commitment to the College by naming the annual Honors Convocation after him.
A long time resident of Canton, Mr. King was also an active member in the local community. He served as a volunteer board member for United Helpers Nursing Home for 25 years. Earlier in July, he was awarded Emeritus status by the organization in Ogdensburg and celebrated for his outstanding commitment to its mission and vision.
His family remains in the Canton area, including his three daughters and two sons-in-law, Barbara King, JoAnne and James Danehy '65, and Martha '74 & '78 and Peter MacArthur, as well as four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 29, at the First Presbyterian Church of Canton with Rev. Michael P. Catanzaro officiating. Calling hours will be Wednesday from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Lawrence Funeral Home, Canton, where a Masonic Service will be held on Wednesday evening at 7:45 p.m. Burial will be held privately in the Redwood Cemetery.
Those desiring may send memorial contributions to: Harry E. King Scholarship, SUNY Canton College Foundation, Canton, NY or to the First Presbyterian Church of Canton, 17 Park Street, Canton, NY or United Helpers Maplewood Campus, State Street, Canton, NY 13617.

So jealous! I worked there 2 summers ago. It's a cute little school. Bless the hearts of all who work there because patients is a MUST! Many of the staff members get kicked, punched, head butted or even bitten by the students. But they love what they do! <3

It's just that most of them aren't really the kind of stuff I think you would be interested in.
It's with great fervor, however, that I can say I've finally visited the new Cosentino's Market in Downtown KC. This is kind of a big deal, as over the past few years there's been a lot of gentrification downtown (urban planners call it revitalization. Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe) but NO GROCERY STORE. Bonus: they even have a few bike racks!
Not much happened on Friday. The weekend was full of mundane happenings. More target practice (shotguns this time) - I think I should probably try Clay Pigeons next time. Paper targets are kind of silly for shotguns. I'm not big on hunting, but I do like making things go boom.
Played MacGyver at church. I fixed the pedal of the bass drum by using only a paper hole punch as a pair of makeshift pliers. Hey, you make do with what you have on hand! I also played my Bass guitar while making an attempt to run the soundboard for the entire praise team. That's always interesting.
Oh, and we had more snow, but it melted. Side note: It's snowing again RIGHT NOW as I type this.
Some goofing off w/ tech stuff.
Anyhow, it's bed time, and I can't wait to see what the snow accumulation looks like in a few hours!
